3- Biography of a Casing Stone - Interesting read about the creation of individual casing stones, how they were measured and shaped. I never knew cubits were so big. I read some papyri before mentioning cubits, but had no reference point to how big they are. The Great Pyramid was 280 cubits tall. The article also provides a nice explanation of how they measured Pi and incorporated that into the dimensions of the pyramid. Nice read, looking forward to the others.
